I have just started a category called 400 on Radio Dial which will be for stuff related to my interests in that part of the IBM world which has nothing to do with the PC world, other than issues related to connecting PCs to IBM midrange networks and OS, like Linux, Unix, or OS/400. This category will not show up on various lists until stuff I post there gets upstreamed ... you will then be able to find it via my directory of stories and categories.
Midrange-l is a technical discussion group for people who work with IBM's midrange computer system, which used to be known as AS/400 but has been rebranded iSeries eServer.
Midrange-l discussion group now has its archives such that we can subscribe to them through our Radio News Aggregation, but where Radio Subscription Channels are identified by rss.xml at end of the Channel's url, here you have to select
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/maillist.rdf to join up.
Posts to the Radio News Aggregation then show up in the format of the title of the post with in parentheses the name of the person who made the post to the discussion group. Clcking on the link then takes you to the actual post, looking exactly the same way as it does when you go to the archives of the group, and you can link from post to post within thread, just like being at the archives.
This link announces the service and gives instructions for subscribing.

This service is also available for the RPG400-L list.
For random visitors to Al's Weblog who may be unfamiliar with RPG, it is an extremely popular business language used on mid sized IBM computers. I guess common languages for software written in the IBM world include: COBOL JAVA RPG SQL
RPG is an acronym meaning Report Program Generator. At one time I knew what most all languages acronyms stood for, except perhaps ENGLISH. " :-}"
Important context, when discussing this technology, is that UserLand wrote and deployed the first RSS-based news aggregator, in the spring of 1999
